Sunshine in bloom ☀️🌼

A carpet of tiny golden flowers is brightening the pathways at Vajrapani Garden this season. Known as Butter Daisy (Melampodium), this cheerful little plant flowers almost non-stop, even through Hanthana's misty, rainy days, and it's a favourite of visiting bees and butterflies.

Nothing fancy, just a small reminder to slow down and enjoy the bright side of the mountains. 🌿

It's a low, spreading perennial in the daisy family (Asteraceae), native across South and Southeast Asia including Sri Lanka bright golden-yellow flower heads with a darker brown-orange centre disc, glossy serrated leaves, and it roots wherever its stems touch soil, so it spreads into a natural flowering carpet.
